How Are We Doing?
5/10/2004 - 12:00 PM to 02:00 PM - NMRLS, Danvers
Surveys, focus groups, word of mouth, or suggestion boxes. How do you know how your library's doing? What is it that your constituents really want? Join your colleagues to discuss ways they seek input from their library users. We'll talk about what works well and how to choose what's the best means of accessing your library's impact on your community. For all library types.
Running Effective Meetings

The new Rowley Library at 141 Main Street opened in January. Pack your lunch and come to share tips to help you run productive, effective meetings. We'll discuss trustee, departmental, and staff meeting situations.
